The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office strives to
develop community service programs that promote safety and well-being for the
citizens of the Louisville Metro area.

Be
Thumbody
Child
I.D.
Program
This unique and inexpensive approach to child
identification was conceived by one of our
own deputies. Using a child’s thumbprint only on a 3 X 5
card that contains other basic identifying information,
our deputies thumbprint over 13,000 area children every
year at schools, churches, civic events, shopping malls,
and the annual Kentucky State Fair.

We encourage parents and guardians to enter all identifying
information in pencil so that it can be easily up-dated
as the child’s statistics change. There is also a
place for the parent to place a current, color photograph, that
we recommend to be up-dated every 6 months during the
child’s formative years. If your school, church or
organization would like to schedule a Thumbody ID program,
please call 574-5195 for details.

PARTNER 911
(People
At
Risk
Today,
Needing
Emergency
Response)
This program provides free cell phones to people in our
community who live in an at-risk situation. Supported by TRAID,
donated cell phones with chargers are re-programmed to
dial 911 only.

The phones are delivered by uniformed, on-duty deputies to
victims of domestic violence, elderly, abused or to those who
have disabilities.

If you have a cell phone, (and charger), to donate, or if you
or someone you know is at risk, and in need of a PARNER-911
phone - please call our office at: 574-5195.

Got Drugs?

Do you have prescription drugs that are out dated or are no longer needed?
Are you looking for a way to dispose of them in a safe and legal manner?

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has the solution.

Located at 531 Court Place, on the 6th floor the Sheriff's Office has a drug disposal collection box that is accessible to the public for disposal of prescription drugs Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Fatal -
Vision
Fatal-Vision is a program we offer to both high school age
and older. This program helps promote safe driving and drug
and alcohol awareness. Through the use of two sets of special
goggles, the participant’s vision is increasingly impaired
much the same as it would be if they were using drugs or
alcohol.

While wearing the goggles, the participant is asked to perform
some simple tasks. Placing a cup of water on the corner of a
table, walking a straight line, dribbling a basketball, etc.
This program provides "fun with a purpose". This program is very
popular at area high schools and is often requested by our School
Resource Officers (SRO).Click here for more on our SRO Program.
